01 / The feeling
Carved from Living Stone
Small in scale but rich in character, this travertine and wood pendant brings organic warmth to kitchens, bedrooms and dining spaces. The natural stone shade casts a soft, atmospheric glow whilst showcasing its unique pitting and banding — no two pieces are identical. Hung in a row of three above a kitchen island or solo as a bedside light, it adds sculptural presence with an understated, earthy elegance.
Each shade is turned from genuine travertine with a contrasting wood detail, measuring 120mm diameter by 170mm tall. The drop adjusts up to 1300mm to suit your ceiling height. Takes one E27 bulb up to 12W (not included) and dims beautifully when paired with a dimmable bulb and trailing edge dimmer. Rated IP20 for indoor use, it's suitable for standard ceiling surfaces including plasterboard and timber joists.

Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Do I need an electrician to install the Taoka travertine pendant light?
Yes, this is a hardwired pendant light and must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with UK Building Regulations Part P. The fitting connects directly to your mains ceiling supply, typically via a BESA box or ceiling rose. Installation is classed as easy for a competent electrician, suitable for plasterboard, timber joist, or concrete ceilings.
What bulb do I need for this travertine and wood pendant?
The Taoka uses a standard E27 (Edison Screw) bulb with a maximum wattage of 12W. No bulb is included, so you'll need to purchase one separately. For best results with the natural stone shade, consider a warm white LED (2700K-3000K) in E27 fitting to complement the earthy, organic aesthetic.
Can this pendant light be dimmed?
Yes, the fitting is dimmable when paired with a dimmable E27 bulb and a trailing edge dimmer switch. The dimmer and bulb must both be compatible – the fitting itself supports dimming, but you'll need to ensure your bulb is marked as dimmable and your dimmer is trailing edge type for flicker-free performance.
What are the exact dimensions of this travertine pendant?
The shade measures 120mm in diameter and 170mm in height, with a 1.3-metre suspension cable. This compact size makes it ideal for bedside pendants, solo use in small spaces, or hanging in multiples – for example, a row of three above a kitchen island works particularly well given its modest 12cm width.
Can I use this pendant light in a bathroom?
No, this fitting is rated IP20 and is only suitable for dry indoor locations. It does not have the moisture protection required for bathroom zones – you'd need a minimum of IP44 for most bathroom areas. Use it in kitchens, bedrooms, dining rooms, or hallways instead.
Is each travertine shade exactly the same, or do they vary?
Each shade is unique due to the natural characteristics of travertine stone, which features distinctive pitting, veining, and banding. No two pendants will be identical in pattern or texture, so expect subtle variations in the stone's surface. This natural variation is a feature of the material and adds to the sculptural, organic quality of the light.
